Addicted to Threadless?

Every time I visit www.threadless.com, I see another design that is begging to be made into a crochet project for the Threadknits competition. This time around, it was "Everybody Loves a Yeti." As soon as I saw the shirt, I knew I had to have my very own yeti to love...

I got down to business with the old crochet hook and in what seemed like no time, I was hugging my own little yeti.

Today my new buddy and I went out to play in the snow for a little while. I think he really enjoyed himself!

He even made a few yeti snow angels in the front yard.

But there nothing better after playing in the snow than a hot cup of cocoa. Luckily my little yeti buddy agrees!

What is amigurumi?

Amigurumi(編み包み) is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures. The word is derived from a combination of the Japanese words ami, meaning crocheted or knitted, and nuigurumi, meaning stuffed doll. Amigurumi are typically cute animals (such as bears, rabbits, cats, dogs, etc.), but can include inanimate objects endowed with anthropomorphic features. Amigurumi can be either knitted or crocheted. In recent years crocheted amigurumi are more popular and more commonly seen.
